How is home automation technology going now?
Home automation technology has advanced a lot
in the last five years especially with the introduction
of new IP based systems and integration with
the Apple iPad. It makes home automation a
lot easier and a lot cheaper than it was. Home
automation, which used to be very exclusive for
just a few homes is now available to a broader
public.
If I happen to be interested in home automation,

what will I need?
The most important thing when building a new
house to install structured cabling, we call this

and when you want to. For existing properties there

are also wireless solutions to retro-fit any home.
How about the trend in home automation?

Is it possible to see every house in the world
equipped with this technology?
I think as time goes on it will become a standard, just
like the electric, telephone or TV systems in your home.
What degree of automation people will have, I can’t be
sure but it is becoming more and more prevalent. A lot
of condominiums we are working on are including
automation as standard.
So who does home automation suit?

It’s been invented for everyone but obviously not for
every house. Better to say it’s for anyone who wants it.
The costs for a home automation system have a wide

price range but significantly add value to the property
after you install it. Home automation systems help save
energy especially through lighting and climate control,
which is now a matter of concern for many people apart
from the obvious lifestyle benefits.
Many thanks to Daragh O’Higgins. We wish you a successful

business here in Phuket.

Phuket Palazzo’s ‘Mirror Palace’ is tucked

away in peaceful surroundings, on the way
to Kathu Waterfall, just a few minutes away
from Central Festival Phuket. The marvelous
look and atmosphere of an antique marquee
hints at something thrilling inside. Embellishing
at the facade are genuine hand-paintings by
popular artists.
Inside are a cozy cluster of dining tables set

in charming misty candle light. In the center
of the palace, embraced by the crowd, is a
show podium that is really close to the top
view table - just reach out. The reflections
of a thousand twinkling candles in many
mahogany framed mirrors help get us in the
mood for the amazing show. The ambience
and aroma time-warp us to a long-lost world
all night long - perfectly established in a
luxurious nostalgic ‘Jewelry Box’ Theatre
with just 250 seats.
Complementing the atmosphere in an

unforgettable experience is also the food.
Here, their five courses of Mediterranean
cuisine with an Asian touch are composed by
the team of renowned Chef Maya Noosawat
and Richard Marks. The menu comprises
Lobster Bisque with Cognac, Beef Carpaccio

and Cream Cheese dessert with Tropical

Unlike other shows, there is no clear

separation set between dining and

We can let our heart flow with the rhythm of the
performances that sometimes surpassed the boundary

as every dish is served in a non-traditional artistic way.
Show after show gradually creates bigger smiles,

laughter and joy for us. They took our concept of time
without knowing it. Whether it was the acrobatics,
dancing, juggling, clowning and even opera singing,
they are all professional, creative and mindful acts, so
I didn’t regret spending money and time. Three and
a half hours was a time of happiness we received
from the international artists.
It was the team’s talent, artistry and dedication that

showed through the performance, eventually touching
my heart. It was a simply beautiful night that gave me
a favourable feeling.

In one corner of Phuket’s downtown, not very

But wait, this is nothing to be surprised at because

Salvatore’s Restaurant actually is not the first
child of its owner Salvatore Cossu. He actually
opened a few restaurants in Patong before it was
established in Phuket town. For Phuket’s real fans
of Italian cuisine, one of his original restaurants
was named ‘Marco Polo’ to help kick your memory.
Salvatore’s Restaurant offers you an opportunity

to consider if it matches your budget or not before
you enter by displaying a menu that indicate
prices right in front of the restaurant. That’s fair
enough to let you go somewhere else if you want.
The only thing to keep in mind is that at this
restaurant, you get good food that your money
deserves. Chef Salvatore Cossu will make sure
everything is right at it should be. Some of his
meat, fish, and vegetables have been imported
but some is bought new daily by the chef himself.

Dukan Diet
Allowed foods and how it works
Dukan Diet – Rapid Weight Loss Following The

Pierre Dukan Regime
The Dukan diet promises fast weight loss without starving your-
self. Some foods are allowed on the Dukan diet and some are not
allowed. The good news is that, of the foods you are allowed, you
can eat as much as you like. The better news is that the Dukan
diet lets you eat things like steak, chicken, fish and cheese (OK,
cottage cheese but that’s better than no cheese!) What you can’t
eat is carbs like bread, potatoes, rice and sugar. For the first 3-7
days, during the Attack Phase, vegetables are off-limits too. Let’s
have a look at the different phases of the Dukan diet.
Dukan diet – Attack Phase

The Dukan diet (named after Pierre Dukan, the French nutritionist
who created it) involves four phases. The first one is the Attack
phase and this is a protein only period of 3 to 10 days (depending
on your weight loss goal). During this period you will experience
rapid weight loss and will set yourself up for the next phase in
the Dukan diet, the weight loss phase. You must drink plenty of

The reason for using

RETRACTABLE
AWNINGS
I
t’s not hard to remember the blinding glare off an
unprotected porch or the scalding concrete by a
swimming pool or the stuffy, still air by a west-facing
window. Retractable awnings use a simple but effective
trick to control pounding heat, glare and UV rays: they
block the sun. An awning blocks sunlight before it ever
reaches a window or deck. This means that all the heat and
energy coming from the sun is stopped before it can touch
the surface of your home.
The key reasons for using retractable awnings using fixed awnings. If a day is cloudy and if you feel
that the light is not sufficient inside your residence,
• Control the amount of light indoors just by rolling back your awnings, you can get more
• Reduce temperatures both indoors and outdoors light. If there is inclement weather, just roll out the
(up to 20 degrees) awning to protect your house from damage. You can

The best way to

renovate
your home
A home renovation can be a great way to boost your home’s value. Planning is the key
to a successful renovation. To help you plan your renovation project, we have information
and easy-to-understand tips that can help you assess your requirements and learn the
key questions, and answers, before you get started.
1 Design and Planning

Whether it’s a sketch on a cocktail napkin or
full-blown architectural plan, some types of
planning and design always comes first.
• Ensure that you have funding for your renovation.

• Draw up a simple “yes/no” list of do-it-yourself
projects and projects you want professionals to do.
• Look for contractors and subcontractors for
those jobs you do not want to do yourself.
• Apply for permits.
2 Roof, Foundation, Siding, Windows

Protect your future renovation work by making certain
the house won’t collapse on you (foundation, major
structural problems) and that it will remain dry
(roof, siding, windows). • If the siding is so damaged that it will
allow water infiltration, repair or replace
• Secure the foundation. the siding. If not seriously damaged,

threaten future remodeling work. If not seriously

as much as possible if you will not be living

Large building projects like additions should come

deplete all of your money and energy on projects
not related to renovating the house itself. However,
an alternate view is that you may want to build an
addition very early in the process so that you don’t
ruin any work you do in the main part of the house.

Talk You know, we export to 30 countries but there are only
free standing stores in Thailand and in Indonesia that
finance an operation with us. We want to avoid being
subject to the political misgivings of Indonesia or of
Thailand. So by being in both countries, we can manage
the risks.
I believe Thailand will have constructive results and

we will pass through any political division.
“I feel positive with what we are doing. I know when

people go into our stores they feel good immediately.
I feel good because we have good staff working
together, we get in the right retail space and because
we have great partners like Gulu Lalvani of the Royal
Phuket Marina, and William Heinecke of the Minor
International hotels under Marriott, Four Seasons, The
Anantara Group and all the rest.
We seem to be gaining attention from the right people.

Talk
How did you start getting in fashion

designing and what was your inspiration
to choose it as a career path?
It was at the age of 14, when I started to tailor
dresses for my sister. She wore them to work and
her friends happened to like them so they asked
me to do some for them too. Then a friend of mine,
who has now become an owner of a famous fashion
boutique, made my career path clear. Back then he
asked me to help him with the designs, so that he
could run to many places with them to present and
come back with the orders. His business went very
well since he decided to open his own boutique.
I then considered opening mine as well.
How old is Century 22?

Century22 is about 10 years old. But actually I was
working for another brand before that. ‘Roccoco’
began because of my sister but after the brand
shifted their focus to domestic markets, I became
involved with designing for the brand.
What is the characteristic of the brand?

Roccoco offers feminine style clothes for a sweet
girl, but Century22 has been designed to support
those cool, chic girls in a colourful Bohemian style.
How do you see fashion trends nowadays?

I think there is no exact trend nowadays. Back 20

departure lounges
T
his was the first time for me flying with
Bangkok Airways and no excuse for my
mate, this was her first time on board a
plane. We were a little bit excited and also
looking forward to enjoying the departure lounges of
Bangkok Airways – people convinced me so much
that it’s nice and free. We are going to share our
experience with the lounges for those who are looking
for more information about the airline. Phuketindex
hope it helps make your decision-making easier.
Bangkok Airways’ Boutique departure lounges are

available for all its passengers and in Phuket Airport
it is situated at the end of the hall on your right hand
side after you pass the security check. The lounge is
not very big actually -in my estimation, it can serve
about 20 passengers, so it’s quite cozy. There are
some bakeries, hot coffee and cold drinks on offer
in a corner. Apart from some soft furniture to relax
on, they also provide three computers of course with
internet access, plus newspapers and magazines for
passengers to peruse.
Vehicle
& Technology
Transporta t i o n
On the way back, at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok we visited the Boutique

lounge for a quick look to find that it was bigger with more seats and comput-
ers than Phuket’s. However, this is understandable when considering the
volume the lounge is suppose to support. Here they have a wider range
of edibles available and a kid’s room equipped with colourful fluffy toys and
bean bags.
We moved to the Blue Ribbon lounge which is exclusively reserved for business
class passengers. It was obviously quieter with less users here. Yet offering
a kind of superior experience, the lounge has lavishly furnished separate
sitting areas, a small private area, a relaxing room with lounge chairs and
massage chair, a refreshment bar – adorned by floral arrangements and lit
up by crystal chandeliers. Green, blue and natural wood colours are domi-
nant. At the Blue Ribbon lounge, passengers can ask for a menu to order
more food than presented. The menu features some ready-to-eat food and
a long list of hot & cold beverages including Bangkok Airways’ signature
drink ‘rice leaf juice’ – a must-try refreshment.
